Last weekend we had a short trip to Seafood City a.k.a Filipino store...and I bought some filipino goodies! I also bought some kakanin... one of them is pinipig espasol? Have you ever had this before?What is pinipig? Pinipig is actually immature glutinous rice that is harvested and pounded into what look more like light green flakes. The flakes are moist and redolent with a fragrance that is simply unique. They are almost the quintessence of rice. These flakes can be eaten raw but it can be also eaten boiled. Pinipig rice is used for rice-based convenience food products in which no rice ingredients are packed separately and mixed only during heating.
